Fix 'N' Flex is a putty-like gel used to repair and strengthen broken nails. It’s harder and less flexible than other systems, making it ideal for keeping splits and breaks stable. However, Fix 'N' Flex should not be used to build a full nail. Take care with the amount of product you use, as it can build up in thickness quickly, which isn’t necessary. Only a small amount is needed to create a strong, secure repair.
